memorization
For buschang’s growth image, I remember in a previous module it was important to memorize tooth eruption and mesialization. There are a lot of numbers on those charts, is it important to remember all the other stuff? Or just a general idea suffices?

@joti My general advice here is I would spend my time focusing on the dental movements of the molars and incisors (figure 8 on the right in blue font) and have those numbers down cold. When it comes to the overall movements in the rest of figure 8 on the left, I’d be familiar with the overall direction and have a decent concept of magnitude, (0.1mm vs 2.5mm), but definitely not worth the mental bandwidth to memorize all of them!

I completely agree with Greg here! The practice tests put out by the ABO and the cases discussed in the article focus on the teeth movements. Peoples faces grow all kinds of different directions but the article really helps us nail down what molars and incisors do over growth.
